Dashing Import?

Japanese publication Famitsu Weekly has ranked Capcom's Nintendo 64 port of the PlayStation game Mega Man Legends -- or as it's called in the homeland, Rockman Dash (64). The title, which features only minimal graphic improvements over the 32-bit original, received a decent score of 7, 7, 7, and 7.

According to Famitu's review, the level of difficulty and ease of control makes it easy for children to enjoy the Nintendo 64 version of the game, though they may have trouble adjusting to the camera issues associated with the 3D engine at first. The magazine also noted that there is a user-friendly tutorial. Overall, though, Famitsu said that the title is nearly identical to the PlayStation version before it, and not worth the purchase for those that have played the original.

Rockman Dash is scheduled to hit the US next year as Mega Man 64. IGN64 will have the import review of the title shortly, followed by a hands-on with the US burn in the not too distant future.
